Hon. George Clark

From the Texarkans Times.
For the past four or five months, in
fact, ever since the legislature voted
TO sumbit tho prohibition amend
ment to tho vote OF the people, the
newspapers which favored the heresy
have seemed to take iiendish delight
in kniiiug Hon. George Clark, OF
Waco. They have hurled all their
poisoned shafts at aim and abuse OF

be their entire stock in trade. Those
imbecile sheets which never had al
idea of their own, and whose editors
haven't the ability to discuss any
question, have substituted abuse OF

abusive to be said about
him. But the cruel, relentless war
wagcd upon Judge Clark proved to
be an able.bodied boomerang to his
slanderers and detamers. Tho gen

whackers" with the contempt they
deserved and didn't deign to dignity

battle Of the ballots that was 10 be
fought on the 4,h. lie conducted his
part of the campaign fairly and hon
orably, but never did Napoleon
conduct campaign in an
ADLER manner. Judge Clark
proved himself to be general OF
sagacity, foresight and courage, and
never once did he falter in the face OF
the enemy. He said but little but he
wkored much, and when the decisive
moment approached his men were
ready anu eager for the fray. The
rasult was, victory perched upon his
banner, just rs IL has done in every
other contest he has entered. When
the smoke of battle cleared away, il

the people two as good papers as they

Newspaper men in Waco have al
ways felt more like tramp squatters
than like permanent and fixed citih-
ems. If one happens to strike the
popular pulse just right, he can live
until some question arises which
divides the people, aud then owing to
the fact that 1t is utterly impossible
to be on both sides at the same time,
and the further fact that divided
patronage will not support him, he
goes TO the wall. This is
the simple truthful history
OF Waco journalism. In self defense
and from the highest considerations
of self interest this policy ought to be
radically changed. Give your papers
enough patronage to render them
confident and independent, mud you
will have them of higher and more
independent grade, and consequently
of greater force and character, and a
higher degree OF usefulness.
